Day 4 - Bangkok (to Floating Market and Weekend Market)

We took a morning bus with 10 people to the Floating Market. It was about 1 1/2 hour drive through beautiful countryside. At the market we got on a large boat with a motor to get closer to the market and then we got on a paddleboat. Anytime you made a comment about something, the seller would pull your boat towards him/her with their long stick. It was filled with tourists but still quite fun.

After we returned to Bangkok, we went to the Weekend Market. We were hoping to see some exotic animals but only saw cats, dogs, birds, and squirrels. It was a busy happening place. If you ever want to buy inappropriate t-shirts this is the place to be.

Once we got back to Bangkok, we walked down KhaoSan Road where all the backpackers hang out. We didn't stay long but found a Subway for dinner at the end of the road.

It was our last night in Bangkok.
